Morning light slides across a low meadow as the expedition vehicle — nicknamed DAVE — idles on a country road. Guests step out, stretch, and breathe a different kind of Czech air: pine resin, wet stone and river chill. The day unfolds by design: a short drive north from Prague, coffee in Turnov, a hike past towering sandstone outcrops, a picnic laid out with local cheeses and cold drinks from the onboard fridge, then scooters and paddleboards along the Jizera Valley.

Morning light slides across a low meadow as the expedition vehicle — nicknamed DAVE — idles on a country road. Guests step out, stretch, and breathe a different kind of Czech air: pine resin, wet stone and river chill. The day unfolds by design: a short drive north from Prague, coffee in Turnov, a hike past towering sandstone outcrops, a picnic laid out with local cheeses and cold drinks from the onboard fridge, then scooters and paddleboards along the Jizera Valley.
This landscape belongs to Český ráj (Bohemian Paradise), a region shaped by sandstone erosion over millions of years; ledges and pillars here are relics of ancient river systems and fluctuating climates. Turnov itself has roots in medieval craft and gem-cutting—local culture still favors small-scale produce and countryside hospitality. Guides often point out rock carvings, old field boundaries and the small chateau cafés that punctuate the river route.
Expect mixed terrain: forested singletrack and stone steps on the hike, smooth riverside paths for scooters, and placid stretches of the Jizera for a relaxed SUP session. The rhythm is easygoing but active — balance and a steady stride matter more than speed.
Practical notes: wear grippy footwear, carry a refillable bottle, and pack a light rain shell. The operator provides equipment (SUPs, scooters), refreshments, a picnic and transport within a 150 km radius of Prague. Suitable for mixed-ability groups; let the guide tailor intensity and timing. Aim for a warm, dry day for the best paddle and scooter conditions.

Bohemian Paradise has long been a craft and lodging area; Turnov grew as a gem-cutting center and rural market hub, with trails that link historic settlements and chateau sites.
The region is managed for low-impact recreation—stick to marked trails, pack out waste and respect private farmland; river access points are monitored to limit erosion and preserve water quality.
